I have been a massage therapist since 2010, and I am extremely passionate about the effectiveness of massage in the relief of many common aches, pains and conditions that can affect our bodies. In my mind, our bodies are amazing miraculous things!……. and I feel should be treated with way more love and care.
We live in a time now, where the pace of life is so fast, and the amount of stresses we encounter on a daily basis are mounting up and taking their toll. It isn’t just physically through sitting too much, bad posture, the increasing toxins in our environment and the foods we eat, but it is also combined with mental and emotional stress, through over-working, life situations and then at the end of the day less quality time for yourself.
How nice it would be, if we were all taught the basics on how to keep our bodies and minds naturally healthy. In my experience bodies have been put to the back of a very long queue, when they absolutely should be right up there at the front! In our current way of living, it can be extremely challenging to keep your self healthy and happy – deciding to come for some treatments is a positive decision towards loving your body and nourishing yourself more. To me massage is more than just a pamper, it is an act of kindness towards yourself and the body you are walking around in.
My intention with the massage is always to be relaxing, so you enjoy the experience, but also to be deeply effective. I have spent many years attending courses, to ensure I have the most up to date knowledge and effective techniques to release tension and encourage circulation within your body.
I am very interested in the workings of the body and mind, and through this work continue to see and feel the indistinguishable link between them. I work holistically, which means I honor the deep connection between the physical body, the mind and the divine spirit. I love to work with the acupressure points, which are points on the energy channels of the body. This can help balance how the subtle energy is moving through your body. When the energy is not flowing as it should, this can affect the body on a physical level.
After many years working from my centre in the South Side of Glasgow, I now work from a purpose built garden studio at my home in Barrhead, Glasgow and I look forward to the possibility of working with you at some point in the future!
